I'm pretty sure I bought this guitar on Monday. I paid for it, and now I'm waiting to see when I get a tracking number.

I really like the wood grain on the top and it will look nice next to my other clear finish nice wood grain guitars. :-)

I hope it sounds good too. If it doesn't I'll make it sound good. :-)

I went for this 2001 version because I learned that, in general, the older Heritage models have slimmer necks as were popular in the late 1980's and I prefer a fatter neck.

It's not clear what pickups it has in it but I knew I didn't want the coil split type that many Heritage enthusiasts seem to think is Heritage's coolest pickup.

I'll wait and find out what I got.

I took ampfixer's advice to heart and I bought this used one after searching out what these guitars actually seem to sell for, which is a lot less than many people seem to ask for them.

I'd love a Gibson L4, but I think I got the next best thing at a price I like.

I'm stoked, it's my first all solid wood jazz-rocker and I figure I'm gonna have fun hugging it while I plink away on the strings. :-)



Good Times.

best regard,
mike

Somebody had to ask:


Did it come with the dulcimer option?

Actually bapu, nobody has to say anything.






It's a choice.

That's exactly what a rational mind would think.

Nice guitar. I'm also not sure about the wooden pickguard; it looks so out of the ordinary. But if it plays as good as it looks, no matter.

I've seen a great many custom guitars with wood use that I really don't care for.
 
Pickup covers is another. For my taste there is a balance of metal and wood that
I seem to expect and like.
Pickguards in general I can do without. They seem like mudflaps on a car to me.
I like metal knobs on the machines...not wood.
Metal knobs on the pots...and plastic is alright. Plastic pup covers is alright.
 
I guess it's a question of balance and on the design of the guitar. A tradition style such
as this one....makes me question a wooden pickguard too.
